On the evening of May 2 the members 

 of the trade in this city gave a fare- 

 well reception at the Kalamazoo House 

 to J. J. Curran, formerly superinteml- 

 ent of the establishment of G. Van Bo- 

 chove & Bro., who resigned April 30 

 and has removed to Elmira, N. Y., to 

 become superintendent of the new estab- 

 lishment of the United States Cut Flow- 

 er Co., which is building 100.000 feet 

 of glass there this spring. It was a 

 very pleasant session and the send off 

 given Jlr. Curran attested the high re- 

 gard in w-hich he is held by the craft 

 here. He will be succeeded as foreman 

 at Van Bochoves' by Wm. Van Peenen, 

 wlio has been with the firm for twelve 

 years. John Westveer who has been 

 with the Dunkley Floral Co. for seven- 

 teen years, has resigned to take a posi- 

 tion with the Van Bochoves.

 dition to his dwelling.
